Generation of a novel knock-in mouse line expressing oncogenic Kit D814V in the hematopoietic stem cell compartment as a preclinical model for systemic mastocytosis.

Research in mastocytosis, characterized by clonal expansion of mast cells (MC), and driven by the KIT D816V mutation in >90% of patients, has been hampered by the lack of in vivo models. Here, we describe a novel knock-in mouse line expressing Kit D814V (murine homolog to human KIT D816V) in the hematopoietic compartme...
